2nd Quarter 2026 Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) Increase

February 25, 2026

Dear Customers and Partners:

We want to inform you of an upcoming adjustment to our Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) for the second quarter of 2026.

Effective April 1, 2026, the 2nd Quarter Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) will be increased from $1,150 to $1,225 per container.

The BAF is a variable surcharge applied to freight rates to account for fluctuations in fuel costs. This adjustment reflects current bunker fuel market conditions.

Thank you for your continued partnership. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these market changes together.

Sincerely,
National Shipping of America
